Burning a data CD using Roxio on the PC

The following instructions are for burning a data CD. To burn a music CD, see Burning an audio CD on the PC (Roxio)

Before you start:

These instructions only apply to burning a CD on the PC. To burn a CD on the Mac see Burning CDs on the Mac

It is recommended to shut down all other programs before burning a CD so they will not interfere with the burning process.

1. Opening Roxio CD Creator
Go to Start > Utilities > Write to CD's > Burn CDs with Roxio

2. Launching dataCD project
When the program window appears, move your cursor to make a data CD on the left. A new menu will appear in the center; click on dataCD project. This will launch a new project in a new browser window.

3. Selecting Files
On the next screen, drag the files you want to burn from your computer (upper window) to the data CD you are burning (lower right window).

Note: If you added the wrong file(s), simply highlight and right-click the files from your project in the lower right window, and then click Remove from CD Project.

When you have the files you want to burn, click the Record icon. A window will appear to confirm the default settings. Insert a blank CD, then click Start Recording.
